Anyone seen JOC in town, or does that mean it is someone else and JOC can only claim a vacant injury spot next year if he comes back, or heaven forbid he could land up at the Reds or Tahs!!!!

Nah, JOC won't be back for the start of the season. He will be injury cover. Let's face it, every team in the comp will pick up a long term injury at some point, they are part of rugby.

I can't say I'll be crying tears of blood if he doesnt come. He's a bit of a pariah at the moment, and doesn't seem to be taking any steps to redress his issues. As a result, any team that picks him up will have a WHOLE LOT of work to do to integrate him into their structures.

Maybe he should go to UnZud or Safferonia to get the pretentious beat off'n him first!

One to come officially but he's already here. They are waiting for the paperwork to be completed.

is it maybe one of these boys

According to Die Burger's website, the Australians are now also after promising youngsters, fullback/flyhalf Dillyn Leyds and prop Francois van Wyk.

Kevin Foote, a former Ikeys coach who will be assistant coach at the Force next year, confirmed that they have offered the WP duo contracts. Leyds - a former Baby Bok - is currently part of the WP Under-21 side, while Van Wyk was part of WP's Vodacom Cup squad earlier this year.

I can't say I'll be crying tears of blood if he doesnt come. He's a bit of a pariah at the moment, and doesn't seem to be taking any steps to redress his issues.

Are you sure? Read an article where his coach was saying how big of an input he has had to the family aspect ofondon Irish. Is always early and leaves late as he's interacting with fans. Went to a club forum and stole the limelight; was answering every question until they all had their fill Posted via Mobile Device

Given the opportunity to play overseas and embrace a brilliant culture, any one of the squad players will be a fantastic 30th player, regardless if who. Seems everyone wants to give it a massive go 2014. Stoked to be a member.Posted via Mobile Device

He still seems to be happy dicking everybody around to try and get the best deal.......normally I wouldn't begrudge a little horse trading, but this is a bloke who is (should be) looking to clean up his image because he wants to get back in the Wallabies, who basically arsed him for being a bit of a wanker......this when others are still under contract after court appearances and rehab stints. I'm beginning to feel a little smoke-fire now with stories about JOC running a contracting merry-go-round to try and drive his price up.
